Sales Consultant: Regional Sales

Job Type: Permanent

Hours: Full time: 37.5 hours

Department: External Sales

Location: The successful candidate should live in the PR, BB postcode areas with quick access to motorway networks.

The Company:

From putting soles on shoes to the tarmac they walk on; from a packet of crisps to silicon chips; from wooden toothpicks to electric cars, you’d be amazed at the things they get involved in. Our client doesn’t do these things themselves, but they work with those who do, enabling their efforts and dreams to be realised. Their role varies from significant to small, but it’s never trivial and always rewarding.

Our client provides automation and fluid control solutions for factory and laboratory applications across sectors such as automotive, food, beverage & packaging, and life sciences.

They are a wholly-owned subsidiary of their Japanese parent company. The UK operation is based on a 14-acre site in Milton Keynes, housing offices, design, manufacturing, and warehousing facilities.

Our client is a market leader in the UK and globally in their field.

The Person:

We are looking for individuals who are passionate, driven, competitive, engaging, and growth-oriented. If you often wonder why others don’t share your enthusiasm for getting things done, if you dislike losing, can quickly build rapport, and are always seeking improvement, we want to hear from you!

The Role:

Focus on expanding business within the machine & device manufacturers sector by engaging with senior management, supply chain, and engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Meet or exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets.
• Create and implement a sales plan.
• Develop sales by understanding customer needs and building strong relationships.
• Promote corporate value propositions.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities and markets.
• Maintain good relationships with distributor sales partners.
• Keep accurate records of sales activities using CRM systems.

Skills and Experience:

While sales experience and an engineering-based technical qualification are preferred, attitude is more important. If you have drive, competitiveness, and people skills, even without experience, we encourage you to apply.

What’s Offered:

Extensive sales, product, and application training, both classroom-based and in-field.

Our client values diversity and inclusivity, welcoming applications from all backgrounds and committed to attracting, recruiting, and retaining talented individuals. They also prioritize sustainable development, caring for the future of people and the planet.

Benefits include retail discounts, life assurance, private medical cover, 25 days holiday plus holiday purchase scheme, a salary sacrifice personal pension plan, and more.

The Selection Process:

Applicants will undergo an online initial interview, online testing, and a final face-to-face interview at the client’s offices.
